Beauty In Its Simplicity

Photo courtesy of Paul
I've known Renna from many years ago, back to the days when both of us are still students.

 Along with few other friends, we were always cramped into 22B on the weekends, doing a lot of foolish crazy things. We shared many memories of trips with the late Dr.Jugah and his family.

 Oohh those were the days.

 And then, life happens and most of us parted ways. Usually meeting up again during weddings.

 Renna and I were the kind of friends who don't talk on a regular basis but when we do, we just pick up where we left off. Of course, as she is friends with my family, she is also a family friend.

 God sometimes always works in a mysterious way.

 Who would have thought that many years down the road from when we were just measly students, Renna would marry my brother's good friend? 

 The story started when my brother asked his friend/colleague, Corbin to tag along for a lunch meet up with Renna, and then they say, the rest is history.

 I'm truly honoured and happy when Renna invited me to her wedding, to share in this celebration.

 Everything about the wedding is just so Renna. 

There is so much beauty in its simplicity, just like her. From all the years I've known her, she is someone very practical, very simple and classy. 

 Nothing brassy, nothing extravagant, nothing noisy, nothing over the top.

 But you know what is the most beautiful thing about the wedding? (well at least to me lah).

 It was the speech from the father of the bride. It was the most heartfelt wedding speech I've ever heard, so full of love and support for his daughter and new son-in-law.

 It started with 

 "En. Corbin adalah lelaki yang sangat sangat jahat!" 

 Erk okay.. I was like what kind of statement is that kan.

 "Sangat jahat kerana telah mencuri hati anak kesayangan saya" Awwww...

 "2 kali dia minta kebenaran. Berani betul dia. Kali pertama, dia mintak kebenaran dari kakak Renna untuk berkawan dengan Renna. Kali kedua, dia datang Mukah untuk mintak kebenaran saya, untuk naik level. Honestly, very honest, this En. Corbin is so much better than me when I was at his age."

 You gotta admit, that guy really has guts, manners, and respect to do what he did, of asking the girl's family permission to date and marry their daughter/sister.

 That really is an honourable and respectful thing to do.

 And then her father said 

 "En.Corbin, welcome to the family. We as parents, will not hinder your ambition (both of them wanted to pursue their studies). We will support both of you"

 Beautiful isn't it?

Congratulations again to Renna and Corbin. May God bless your wonderful journey and be there every step of the way.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh? Sebenarnya salah satu benda Cik Panda nak cerita pasal butt cheeks. Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
